I'm always looking to purchase excess quantities or out-of-stock or discontinued inventory, automotive related or not. I pay a healthy 'referral fee' for passing on information about a collection of literature, boutique items or a parcel of hard mechanical parts that you know is for sale or trade. Tell me about it and we both stand to benefit from it!
